4th International Conference on Computational Sustainability at Cornell

July 6-8, 2016, Cornell University, Ithaca, NY.

The CompSust-2016 conference focuses on computational methods for balancing environmental, economic, and societal needs for a sustainable future. The main goal of CompSust-2016 is to promote networking, collaborations, and discussion among computational sustainability researchers from academia, NGOs, and government institutions. The conference brings together academics and practitioners. Through talks, panels and discussions, poster sessions, and invited talks, the conference program will investigate the major problem domains that impact global sustainability, those technologies and processes that offer the greatest opportunities to increase sustainability in these domains, and the fundamental computational methods that support these technologies and processes.

CompSust-2016 will include the launch of CompSustNet, a large scale international computational sustainability research network, sponsored by the National Science Foundation through an Expeditions in Computing award. A CompSustNet kickoff meeting will feature talks by members of the leadership team introducing many of the core projects, and is open to the public.

CompSust-2016 will also feature a series of talks and discussions on Conservation, Computation, & Criminology, which is a new focus area added this year.

Location: Cornell University, Ithaca, NY.

Dates: July 6-8, 2016. The conference will start at 9am on Wednesday, and end at noon on Friday.

Participation in the conference is open to everyone interested in computational sustainability. The conference will include short talks, panels and discussions, poster sessions, and invited talks. A key goal of the conference is to promote and facilitate interactions and networking between researchers in sustainability domains with researchers in computational sciences, as well as among computer scientists in different research areas.
